    Description

      Atlassian Status – 03 January 2018

      Hi everyone,

      Thanks for providing your thoughts and votes on this suggestion. We know it's been a while since this suggestion was raised and we're sorry to have kept you so long without a clear answer.

      Your feedback has really helped us better understand the varied challenges you face with inability to see branch information in the list of commits in the development panel. Despite our lack of communication, this problem is actually one of those areas we plan to improve in Jira. Right now we've decided to prioritise it on our roadmap.

      Thank you again for all your feedback on this suggestion and we look forward to providing you with more updates as we work on improving user experience of the Development panel.

      Best,
      Anton Genkin | Product Manager - Integrations

      This was requested to be entered as an improvement per https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Viewing+the+Code+Development+Information+for+an+Issue?focusedCommentId=457704004#comment-457704004

      After conversion to the new Development panel with upgrade to Jira 6.2, the Commits tab no longer shows (since we are connected to GitHub, which is expected). The old Commits tab, however, listed the branch name in the commit detail view. The new Development tab does not list the branch name along with the commit in the commits detail overlay. This was extremely valuable information, since not all of our branches follow the "feature branch" format (for example our "prerelease" and "bugpatch" branches). For those branches that are not tagged with the issue number, we now can no longer tell which branch the commits have been pushed to, since that information does not show up anywhere in the Development panel. As a side note, our QA department used the Commits tab in this manner: Click on it in one issue, go through the list of open stories for testing to see which branches things were on. Because the "last selected" tab was automatically selected when opening another issue, that allowed QA to flip through the issues with minimal interaction. That is now also not possible with the Development panel, as you must click on the commits link in every issue in order to view the information.
      A configurable flag to also show the Commits tab would be an acceptable improvement, but showing the branch identifier in the Commits detail list is really a better improvement (although more clicks, we have other ways to flip through the list)
